That's a very fair point. But even that level of “nuance” I think can be lost on an audience of many millions in a generation where a large proportion of kids make it to college without ever having read an entire adult-level book cover to cover.
This is exactly why I had to stop watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s brilliantly written satire most of the time, but I know people are getting the wrong ideas from it and laughing at truly despicable behavior that they’re going to emulate first for ironic humor, then eventually just because it’s hedonistically rewarding.
Except that you can draw whatever you want and it can be different each time in theory. Some may enforce consistency, but there’s no legal requirement of it.
Like I said, loopholes. Paying someone to not do something under specific circumstances that could easily be done under different circumstances is a real smoothbrain move in any domain.
Assuming the firm stays in wind power, then it’s basically a $1.2B subsidy for someone else’s wind power project. It’s not ideal, but it’s a silver lining.
I was at a grocery store back when you had to sign the little digital screen for a card transaction and I finished signing, but the cashier got distracted and didn’t accept the signature for a while, so I just doodled Godzilla trashing a skyscraper next to my name.
My best friend was there with me and from that day forward, I’m not sure if he’s ever signed something without adding a Batman logo.
This is the dumbest shit ever. I hope they bungled a loophole into the deal and the firm will just come back next year and get new leases in different spots or something.
Pretty much this, if I remember correctly. Because of this linguistic feature, they have an exceptionally well-developed sense of absolute direction and basically know at all times which way is which.
Bob fell out of the boat. Which side? The south side. Turn the boat 90° clockwise. He’s still off the south side of the boat.
Yes, but I, like many before me and many more to come, have played out the exact same classical tragedy:
Everyone: “Don’t stick your dick in crazy.”
Me: sticks dick in crazy
Chorus: “Woe be to our Hero, fallen to hubris, laid to waste! O! How defiant was he to the Gods and to the exhortations of his fellows! The sour reapings of his field of pride now taint his wine, a potted plant now lay shattered in his sink for some reason, and his Game boy Advance game collection now lay in the hands of the deceiver who hath no Game Boy, nor knowledge of their value, nor interest in gaming!”
I thought through it and I’d wager a stiff draught that it ought not be so rough, though as I’m taught, it’s nought to cough at that a sturdy, taut bough would snap under the weight of its idiosyncrasies.
Row 2 would kick in the teeth of Row 3 if they saw them voting for fascists like they keep doing.
Fuck Jeff Bezos. He’s a walking erectile dysfunction.

I used one a million years ago when I was a teenager and I hated it because it legit sounded like a lawnmower. Are they still so insanely loud?

Signatures are arbitrary.
Bring Back Damnatio Memoriae.

Didn’t you read it? I lost my game boy games. And my Game Boy Micro. Rare shit.
I just want a VR mode again. Code VRonica. IT’S RIGHT THERE.

I know it’s not wrong, but it would definitely give one away as a non-native speaker and come across very awkwardly.
English acting like it’s not a fucked up language where “the big, red, round, wrapped box” is fine but “the wrapped, round, red, big box” is wrong.
